Blue Jay

This Blue Jay is interesting on a coupe of levels. If you squint your eyes it has a repetitive shape that is roughly a six sided (the tail being a really short side) within a six part mandala. It just surprised me that an organic shape of a bird could look geometric. The other surprising element of this piece is the six feather like elements radiating from the center are not feathers at all, just part of a branch.

About Me

Taking pictures has been second nature to me for 40 years. Being in the right place at the right time to take advantage of the light, Light is important. With light we see, we see where we are in relation to our surroundings and the world at large, thus my business name “To See the Light”.
Ever since I was a kid handed my first cardboard kaleidoscope, circular visions seen through the eyepiece intrigued me. When the camera was first invented the image produced was round, seen through a round lens. Camera lens are still round, but the area of exposure is a rectangle. The advent of digital photography and computers enables me to manipulate pie pieces of my images to create my circular visions, my Mandalas.
Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning center and circle, the circle is a complete shape representing wholeness.
I love the wonderful patterns formed in the center of my mandalas
